Everyone Loves Snipper

Hi All, Weather wise its pretty much a carbon copy of yesterday without as many rain showers. As soon as we hit Leeward Channel the waves start mounting. The good news is all three dolphins are just arriving at Leeward. Bo is off fishing, her dorsal popping up here and there all over in the caulky water. She is one fast dolphin! She must have to fish a lot in preparation for her calf! JoJo and Snipper are peacefully swimming along close to our boat. I get in a little before we reach Leeward and am thrilled to see JoJo crater fish for he first time since he got all those cuts and the puncture wound. The water is really murky but I think he has success. I don't think he's comfortable opening his mouth very wide, though. I hope this improves as time goes by. As we reach Leeward the water's wonderfully clear; the bad news is we are in boat traffic. I imagine you all have noticed that I look up frequently when taking video. The other day a girl got off a boat and was swimming as fast as she could go to catch up to JoJo, who was slowly swimming along three boat lengths ahead with no intention of waiting! There was a tour boat with everyone hanging out to watch JoJo. She was heading right at it going as fast as she could go. The boat captain is yelling at her to stop - CLUNK right smack into the boat. I've been there! It's a hands on experience or in this case a head on experience.(she survived!) JoJo wants to visit the boats and Snipper comes over to me to play. John who acts like my escort is trying to keep me from getting run over by blocking. This is all pretty exciting when the waves are rolling in. Soon they all check off "see the dolphins" from their to do list and we are left in peace. As we head off, Snipper notices a sort triangular shaped tube in the water. I don't know what it is but it probably fell off a boat. I notice there is an antenna coming out of it! A lobster has made it his home. The dolphins now speed up a little and head to the reef. I eventually lose sight of them and decide a trip into the channels to get out of the wind and have lunch is a good plan. My plan for the afternoon is to head back to the condo where I've been working with my new website whizz, Max, to upgrade my website! I think it will be on line by tomorrow I hope you take a look! www.jojoandjay.com
